Testimonials

Jill is the best of the best. I’ve had a standing monthly appointment with her for years, and her experienced hands, knowledge, and intuition have helped support my body through many injuries, accidents, and even hip replacement surgery. She is a gifted healer and a beautiful human being, and I highly recommend her to anyone.

Jill is an intuitive, highly educated, and skilled Rolfer. Her work is gentle, yet yields amazing results. When she works on me, it’s as if she listens to my body, responding with all of her senses. Additionally, she honors each individual's body and healing path with love and compassion. I have learned to love and respect my body from Jill, who has helped me embrace my healing journey.

Jill Gerber is that rare and precious combination of being highly trained and knowledgeable as well as having a wonderfully sensitive and intuitive touch. I've been able to release deeply held, non-useful postural patterns. I get up from her table able to breathe more deeply and feeling a greater sense of freedom in movement. I feel fortunate to have found Jill and highly recommend her work!

My life changed when Jill Gerber came into it! Her bodywork, and especially the Rolfing has been a main part of my life for 15 years. Her expertise, her generous spirit, and her reliably wonderful sessions are unsurpassed anywhere. I highly recommend her. She is the very best in the business! Her intuitive touch with all manner of bodywork is just superb. I would cross the country to come see her! There is no one anywhere that is more skilled, more broad, and more effective than Jill. My years worth of work with her sustain me like nothing else.

—Betty O.

Jill is monumentally adept in her Rolfing work. She can zero in on areas of concern while simultaneously looking for the root causes of discomfort as structural integration suggests. I always leave our sessions with a renewed sense of well-being and feeling nicely attended to! Jill cares about her clients. Her willingness to better understand our situation to fully comprehend how best to treat us is first and foremost in her approach. I highly recommend Jill's Rolfing bodywork for individuals who are looking to change their relationship with old patterns in their bodies.

 I found my way to Jill after being told by a respected neurosurgeon that the only way to end my painful sciatica was through surgery. I didn't expect her to fix me but hoped she could at least buy me time and relief. My previous experience with Rolfing had been awkward and uncomfortable. By contrast, Jill moved fluidly and intuitively to identify and address the root source of discomfort. She reminds me of a virtuoso musician whose years of training and practice distill as deft, sweet mastery. It's been 8 years since I started working with Jill. These days, I only go in for tuneups. While I do my part with diet and exercise, I've never felt the need for surgery. I know I would not have come to such physical peace without Jill's expertise.

To be served by Jill for more years than I can count is a gift. She has kept me on my feet, enhanced the flexibility of my body, and mentored me for better health. Her Rolfing has been a unique blessing along with giving me the ability to maintain work into my 80s. I am ever grateful to you, Jill.

Jill Gerber has been an invaluable asset on my wellbeing path for almost a decade. As years pass by and I approach octogenarian status, her healing hands have continually brought ease and comfort to my yet-athletic body, while her sage advice has eased concerns for the challenges of aging.

—Pamela Smith

I’ve worked with Jill for at least 8 years and have found that her Rolfing sessions definitely help keep me moving. My muscles and arthritic ankles have limited my gait and energy level when walking. After Jill’s work, my gait is smoother and walking is easier. Prior to the bodywork, Jill listens intently to my updates, looks for patterns in my health, and always addresses any new issues that might arise between sessions. She provides a caring and supportive environment. I really appreciate that Jill is a practitioner who keeps learning through her teaching and seminars with other Rolfers. I strongly recommend that you try a Rolfing session and the 10 series with Jill which may identify issues to help you move forward in health.

—Susan H.

I have been a client since 1993, and Jill’s excellent bodywork and support have sustained me through fibromyalgia and other challenges in life, for which I am eternally grateful. I cannot imagine life without this healing place—it is truly a jewel.

—Maya G.

Jill Gerber is a bodywork practitioner at the top of her game, at the top of her profession. I have been a client of hers for more than a decade. Her expert, intuitive hands have kept my aging bones (plagued by scoliosis and arthritis) in the game longer than I would have thought possible. Thanks to her skill, I can still chase my five grandchildren—and even catch them sometimes. Jill is trained and experienced in so many disciplines (Rolfing, massage, cranial and visceral therapies) that she can seamlessly combine them in the course of a single session. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Santa Fe is lucky to have her.

—Deborah Smith Douglas

Jill has a gift, and she is generous in sharing it with her clients. She is knowledgeable, and wise. She sees and listens and translates what she gathers into each session with remarkable skill. I have been going to her for Rolfing for a few years now, with great results. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

—NZ

I have been fortunate enough to receive Rolfing from Jill for over 10 years. Having experienced many bodywork therapists over the past 30 years, no one comes close to Jill’s work. She is patient, intuitive, and always sensitive to one’s tolerance as it varies. The breadth and command of tools she has mastered is extraordinary.

—CF

While I have benefited from the work of many bodyworkers, there is really no one who has Jilly's knowledge and skill. And her "table-side" manner dispensing kindness, humor, and worldly wisdom just adds to why I love having her in my life.

—Peggy

Jill is the best Rolfer I’ve ever had sessions with. Her intuitive way of working always leaves me feeling relaxed and happy.

—Carol

Jill got me through a very difficult recovery from back surgery. I credit her for not only getting me back on my feet but for keeping me there. Her generosity, kindness, dedication, and skill are extraordinary. An extraordinarily gifted Rolfer.

—SF

I used to get bodywork done once a year as a birthday gift to myself. Then I encountered Jill! I found her Rolfing series so essential to my health maintenance that I’ve continued to get bodywork on a monthly basis beyond several years now. My body always tells me when I’ve missed my monthly tune up! However, it would be a mistake to say that Jill is merely an excellent technician of bodywork. She has an in-depth knowledge of anatomy and an intuitive gift for healing which goes beyond the physical. I feel so lucky to have found Jill. She is a gift!

—Linda Mae

I have been seeing Jill for Rolfing work for over a year now, and I have a different body. A much happier body. One that does not suffer the same mysterious sprains, injuries, and aches that it once did. Jill is highly knowledgeable, highly intuitive, highly trained, and just plain gifted. What she does is magic, and I am grateful for it.

—FH

I was referred to Jill during a protracted bout of frozen shoulder, which had left my entire body out of alignment and with extremely limited range of motion. I did the Rolfing series of 10 treatments and could hardly believe the improvements I experienced, both in eliminating pain and increasing flexibility. Jill completely dispelled the myth of Rolfing being rough or painful. That was 8 years ago, and I still see her twice a month for either Rolfing or therapeutic massage as an integral part of my health care routine. I’m over 60 now and run and strength train 4-5 times weekly, which I feel would not have been possible without Jill.

—Sudasi Clemens

I have been regularly going to Jill for 20 years and can attest that she has kept me limber, relaxed, and sane. I am eternally grateful for her skill, compassion, and wisdom. She’s simply the best!

—SB

My body and whole health are very important to me. I first went to Jill after an injury, not really knowing what Rolfing was. That was many years ago! Once I experienced it, I have stayed with it. Jill’s training, experience, and knowledge of the interconnectedness of the body are expert level. Her work with structural integration has changed my body and how it moves. I continue to be able to pursue an active lifestyle. For me, this is crucial as I get older.

—AH

Jill’s work has helped me heal through many injuries, including a broken ankle. With her help, I am walking again!

—Suzanne S.

Jill is the best bodyworker I have ever known. I have seen her weekly for years, and she takes the time to discover what you need and to provide it. Her massage work is informed by her Rolfing training, which has served me well more than once!

—Judith R.

I have been going to Jill for massages for 25 years. I'm a little hesitant to write a review for her, since it has been very difficult to get an appointment with her for years—she's that good. Her massages are excellent, strong and gentle. Over these years, I've been pregnant, had a knee replaced, and various other health issues—and she's been great through it all. For a while, I moved to Albuquerque, and yet I still came up to Santa Fe for my monthly massage. I've tried others, but no one compares. —Jennifer D.

I began receiving Rolfing with Jill after I broke my arm. Her skill in helping me realize that there were a few old injuries my body had attempted to adapt to helped me understand a wider picture of health I wanted to strive for. All our sessions together gently unwound decades of holding. I am most grateful.

—Lian Blair

It was from a gifted and eccentric Rolfer in Washington, DC, my then hometown, that I received Jill Gerber’s name and number. He was appreciating my two simultaneous hip replacements and the fact that I was spending more and more time in Santa Fe. “You must see Jill,” my friend said. "She is a renowned teacher of Rolfing and a skilled, intuitive diagnostician of all things mind/body.” I contacted Jill when I tripped and needed a referral and for the other challenges I face. I love those folks who teach. And mind/body intrigues me. So Jill it was and is and will be.

—Kathy W.

I began seeing Jill over 30 years ago for massage. Initially I was seeking relaxation; over time, my appointments became necessary for therapeutic purposes. For me, Jill’s touch has been healing and intuitive as we problem-solve my body’s issues together.
